Hello sinister Many many things to say... But if I went into them all I might get asked to leave the list as most of them involve calling James Thorniley names that aren't nice, so I will simply say this: (NB: skip this bit if you hate it when members of the list who know each other off-list start being too ---) James was really drunk last night. we were talking about the glasgow gig and how excited we were about it. he said I would get to meet lots of list celebrities. I said "ooh do you think I will get to meet Honey?!" I like to think that it was because of the loud cheesy music playing in the club that we were in at the time (Toffs in York, for those of you that are interested in these things), but more likely due to the 4 pints and the bottle of pineapple VK that he had consumed (he does get drunk fairly easily, it has to be said), james misheard me. Now, no offense to the lovely Mr Chu, whose posts often make me giggle at my computer, but *I WOULD NEVER SAY THAT!!* I am still quite new around these parts and so far have been keeping a fairly low profile, and for Mr Thorniley to be spreading these dare I say malicious rumours about me just isn't fair. Not that there is anything wrong with being horny, or even shouting about it really loud in some goddawful nightclub full of the university rugby team and all the town's resident meat-heads (please note that I am not saying that the rugby team are all meat-heads, I leave you to draw your own conclusions on that one), but its just not me! So there. Ok, rant over. In other news, we rang up today and booked our tickets for the Glasgow gig... Its all very exciting for me as this will be my first ever B&S concert, and indeed my first ever Sinister meet-up that doesn't just involve people that I have already met through York Sinister Massive (TM). Who really are very nice people. Which reminds me, for those of you that tuned in to see Sam Walton's appearance on 15-to-1, did you notice how extraordinarily short the two ladies on the right hand side of him were? He is quite tall anyway but they were incredible(ly small). Hmm, I'm digressing again. I was determined to make this post better than my previous efforts, but to no avail. So I may as well just plough on with the silly irrelevant stuff instead. No more mentions of people that I have actually met. For example, when Lucy (whom I have never met) said << Whenever Stine says "have a toadie day" I always think of Toadie in Neighbours. This isn't particularly pleasant. If you don't know what I'm on about, there is a picture of him here: http://www.neighbours.com/ (he's the one with the beard) But I'm sure Stine doesn't mean to inflict this pain on me :) >> I was surprised as I thought everyone loved Toadie, formerly a loveable rogue and now a gen-U-ine nice guy lawyer who still looks after his friend Sarah's dog even though Sarah went away on holiday to London about 5 years ago and shows no signs of returning. Today has been a really nice day, weather-wise, and indeed fun-wise, and the prospect of tonights indie quiz just makes it even better. Call me keen, I don't care!! (Call me horny, I get cross!) A friend from home made me a mix tape that I got at the weekend and since then I have been enjoying mull historical society and the new white stripes single, as well as remembering how great the delgadoes are. Sorry, my post hasn't included any touching tales of triumph over diversity, or even any good puns... I've just kind of babbled a bit and tried to stop Ken Chu being scared of me. Hmph. When I was in Glasgow a few weeks ago visiting an old friend (and walking past kelvingrove park several times, completely oblivious to the interview taking place there at the time) I overheard two men chatting as they walked down the street. One said to the other "it really is the holy grail of radio journalism" which has really stuck with me ever since. I'm not really sure what it means, but perhaps writing a coherent post could be my Sinister holy grail. Enough.
